Some songs just stick with you, not only because of their tune but because they make you think. Reverend Genes’ latest single “Everyday People” does exactly that – it’s the kind of track that first catches your ear and then captures your mind.
Right from the first listen, “Everyday People” feels familiar yet fresh. The melody brings back memories of those light rock classics from the ’80s while the production has that polished early 2000s feel that radio loved so much. But don’t let the catchy chorus fool you – beneath those memorable hooks lies a message that couldn’t be more timely.
This third single from the upcoming Time EP tackles big questions about our society with a surprisingly light touch. While you’re humming along to its infectious melody (trust me, you will be), the lyrics paint a picture of our world at a crossroads. It’s the kind of song that makes you pause between verses and think, “Yeah, what about that?”
The track has become a regular feature in our radio shows and podcast lineups, not just because it’s such an earworm, but because it sparks conversations. That’s what good music should do – get stuck in your head and make you ponder at the same time.
What really sets “Everyday People” apart is how it addresses heavy topics like authoritarianism and social media’s impact on society without weighing down the music. The positive energy running through the track lifts these serious themes, making them accessible rather than overwhelming.
Reverend Genes has crafted something special here – a song that works both as a pure listening pleasure and as a conversation starter about where we’re heading as a society. It’s proof that important messages don’t need to come wrapped in doom and gloom.
“Everyday People” starts streaming everywhere from September 21, 2024. Give it a listen – your playlist will thank you, and so might your brain.
